Oats are a great choice for breakfast. Because they are so rich in fibre, especially steel cut oats, they help you stay satiated for longer.  Oats are also a ‘heart-healthy’ food, shown to help balance blood glucose and improve your cholesterol profile. Combining it with live yogurt further improves the blood sugar support and appetite regulating benefits of oats because of the protein and live bacteria content of the yogurt.
